In our society the concept of human rights violations isn’t one that is usually thought about let alone let known to the public but despite most people’s ignorance to the oppression that is happening in North America, the violations of people’s rights here doesn’t hardly even begin to broach upon the severity of this issue in other parts of our world. The pure irrationality of some of the laws being passed in other countries is deplorable and I find it interesting how people who’ve been brought up and live in different places can have such an insurmountable difference of views of what is appropriate and what is not, of what is violations of human rights and what is simply an idea with its normal verbigerations and disagreements. True, what you’re surrounded by when you’re young can effortlessly alter how you perceive society but just the difference of values and morals of comparing one society to another can leave the people of those countries mystified to how the other societal community survives within the rules, regulations, and human image they have created for themselves; and it’s in understanding these differences is what ends up being the most important when collaborating and really defining what is violation of human rights and what is not.
Issues such as these are occurring everywhere, places such as Nicaragua where because of the recent ban on abortions, women are being found without proper life-saving medical treatment. Doctors are feeling extremely reluctant to assist pregnant women, afraid they might harm the fetus, leaving them open to criminal prosecution under this new law. Denying these women their right to medical attention is causing huge controversy as to what is best for them and what can be done. These people are being refused medical help based merely on the fear of the medical staff and because of that the women are becoming more and more subject to unhealthy births that could easily result in death for both the parent and the child. The law even allows women and girls to be severely punished for suffering miscarriages and encourages forcing these girls to have babies as result of rape by male relatives. It’s even going as far as to force children to have children; a demand so ridiculous, one wouldn’t easily identify the reason for such crudeness. Thirty-three women, of all ages, have died this year during pregnancy compared to the 20 last year in the same time period.
It’s when we hear about things such as this, people’s rights being so obviously violated, that we feel the disgust and disdain for the officials who would allow these types of monstrosities to develop and continue under their supervision. The only way we could ever fully understand this particular plan of action is if we were subject to their way of living and were presented the reasons behind decisions seemingly so disastrously inhumane and even then understanding may be well out of the question, the meer profit-hungry eyes of the government creating laws of whichever nature as to which best conveniences them.
It’s never fair when women are denied medical care that could effortlessly save their lives if it were just given to them but the only way to help is to learn; aim to fix the underlying issues causing such inadvertent pain and suffering.
